There is no Love on that island

my favorite thing about frank crozier is he’s spiritually a completely demoralized sad midwestern man with an ex-wife, untreated depression, and a career as a high school math teacher who drinks on the job. he is NOT an action hero or a born leader. he is NOT motivated to get better. and yet when shit hits the fan he does some really beautiful, heroic things. Francis Crozier is just Some Dude You Know Who’s Gonna Die Like This Some Day Probably up until he gets to the end of the world in extremis and somehow, for once in his life, picks his shit up and shows himself to be made of such courage and kindness. now that it doesn’t matter at all if he believes in himself or not. ahahaha wow i love u francis crozier

god the stewards rule. "all-male feminized support class in the imperial death machine" is one of the concepts of all time

Billy in particular being a part of this is group is so juicy because of the oppression he faces for being queer, especially because his queerness entails being a bottom in an agrubly gendered way. so his place is to be woman-like but if he's caught stepping into being too woman-like he'll be brutally punished by the same system feminizing him through the kind of labor he preformes in/for it

which is so much of what makes gibson/irving dynamics soooo compelling to me. what do you MEAN you're legally bound to preforming wifely duties for this man who sees you as his inferior and also seeks to control and limit your sexuality. the navy is crazy
